Buffy ,'Get It Done'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
His birthday was on the twenty-third, but we pushed the party back a week since his Mom was out of time.
Here's the full schedule - fifty acts at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. Emmylou, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle, Nick Lowe, Robert Earl Keen, Hazel Dickens...
Hey, this looks kind of cool -- some people at Columbia are doing a study about music (I got an email because I signed up for that "six degrees" thing a hundred years ago):
Now we have another project that we think you might enjoy. This one tries to understand how people form their musical tastes. If you participate you will have a chance to discover and download cool new music. It's legal and totally free. Check it out, >[link]It's apparently "up and coming" artists that you listen to/download.
As usual I was being a smartass, Hayden. I love the song, and the album it's from, Phases and Stages, is one of the ones I profiled for Lost in the Grooves.
D'oh! I wasn't being a smartass. I love that album, but if that song is the one I'm thinking of, it's not one of my favorites.

I tried that last Friday and my reaction to the seven or so of those songs I heard veered from indifference to outright hatred. But I hope there's some good stuff on there.
And damn, I'm being negative today. Should just shut mouth.
I just did it, and listened to about a dozen songs, amd my most positive reaction was "meh."
OMG those songs so boring.
Apparently my paralegal plays with TV on the Radio. Any opinions?
Those songs at the Columbia project couldn't have been more generic. And I listened to 20 of them.
TV on the Radio are GREAT! I read someone describe them as "The Pixies fronted by Al Green." While I hate to pigeonhole them like that, it's not too far off the mark.

LOVE THEM!
One of them was somehow chosen as "Best Indie Rock Star" by Baltimore Magazine this year. Which doesn't make any sense because of how they're completely NEW YORK not Baltimore based. I think the "Rock Star" one is from Columbia (Bmore suburb) or something. I kept meaning to write into the mag to protest, because there are quite a few good Baltimore-based bands going right now, but have been too lazy.
I forgot to mention that the keyboardist for Of Montreal looks like Kate P. (She had more hair on Sunday.)

They ROCK like hell. One of my favorite new bands. Check out the Young Liars EP; it's one of the best concise statements of purpose I've ever heard outside the best EPs of the Minutemen or Mission of Burma.

You are a braver man than I.
It almost appeared like Rio was here. But that never happens, so I must be wrong.
